I know a little about working with blob-fields yet, but general idea is you must write code, that uses MSWord as ActiveX control. MSWord represents many methods for inserting different data into a document. So, you can write program wich reads your blobs-data from database and inserts it into Word-doc.
I've wrote program (Delphi-based) that does it well. So, you've got a direction. Good luck!
